Create QR Code Shortcuts

QR codes can be linked with buildings, areas, or subareas. Teams can scan these codes to save time by jumping straight to the right location.

This feature is part of the Standard plan and the service checklists add-on. If you have one of these plans but do not see the options below, please reach out to us at support@orangeqc.com.

Creating QR Code Signage

Every area in your account already has a corresponding QR code and unique link built in.

Every area in your account already has this functionality built-in. Unique to OrangeQC, you already have a QR code linked to every area. The system will detect different permissions, which user, etc. to determine next steps.

You can print QR codes from the Setup tab, or from individual areas.

To print from the Setup tab:

1. Log into the OrangeQC web app as an administrator.
2. Click the Setup tab.
3. Choose "QR Codes" from the left-hand sidebar. This will appear if you're a part of our beta test group.
4. Select the areas you want to print QR codes for. First, choose the areas you'd like to generate codes for from the area picker. Then, select from the options to generate QR codes for all areas at and within the selected area, or only the selected areas.
5. Choose your print format. Choose between two formats: 2"x4" (10 QR codes per sheet), which print onto Avery Template 8163 labels; or 1"x1" (48 QR codes per sheet, designed for door jambs), which print onto Avery Presta® 94103 labels.

To print from an individual area:

1. Log into the OrangeQC web app as an administrator.
2. Click on the Setup tab.
3. Navigate to the area you need a QR code for. Click on that area.

4. Click "More" in the right-hand sidebar. This will bring up a drop-down menu with options to move the area or generate a QR code. Click "QR Code."

   

5. Download the image. You can right-click on the QR code that pops up and choose "Save Image As" to save it as a PNG image file, or click the "Download PDF" option to save it as a PDF file.

To create your own custom QR codes:

You can also use your own custom QR codes to directly link to an area. This can be useful for teams who are already using Flowcode or another system that generates QR codes.

Follow the steps 1-4 above for printing a QR code from an individual area. Instead of saving the QR code image, copy the direct link in the text field beneath the image.

Posting QR Codes

Place the codes in discreet locations, such as on a door jamb or near an entrance.

To make it easy to match codes with specific areas, the 2"x4" label PDF includes the name of the area on each individual labels. The smaller 1"x1" labels include the unique area number, and also print with a table that matches each number with its area name.
